Scampenstein's Celebrity Supporters

I was delighted just before Christmas to get some celebrity support for the Scampenstein crowdfunding campaign.

The inestimably wonderful Stephen Fry of Q.I. and Black Adder fame tweeted his support on December 16th with this Tweet.

He "would love to see this happen"!!!

I was even more delighted when renowned film composer Clint Mansell added his support just today. Exactly the post Christmas boost the campaign needed.

West Midlands native Clint who has worked extensively with hit director Darren Aronofsky
(Black Swan, The Wrestler, Noah) has a fabulous filmography as
composer. He has also worked with such luminaries as Old Boy director
Park Chan-wook on Stoker, with Duncan Jones (Source Code) on the brilliant low budget
Sci-Fi hit Moon and many others.

I'm
particularly delighted with this as I hosted a Q & A with some of
the filmmakers behind Moon at the Giant Screen in Birmingham last year.
Thats me on the extreme right alongside veteran Miniatures specialist Bill Pearson, conceptual designer Gavin Rothery and Art Director Hideki Arichi.

So
its just after Christmas and nearly 1/2 way through the campaign. There
are 38 backers and the campaign is already 20% funded. Steady progress
is being made with the immediate key goal being the 30% mark when all
sorts of potential and invaluable indiegogo support could kick in.

You too can help make a big difference and support the campaign by
choosing an affordable perk here.
